Jane Bolsover had a plan - a crazy plan - to knit a life-sized English Garden, right down to the flowers, vegetables, squirrels and insects:

The project has been painstakingly completed by more than 300 contributors, including a group of gay men knitting in Brighton, and a 12-year-old boy in Sussex, who spent six months making the pond and waterfall.

Ms Bolsover, 46, of Dorking, Surrey, estimates her team made 4million individual stitches, knitting together 80km (50 miles) of wool.
